Try http://www.microsft.com

I've found that most large computer-oriented companies have a page of the
general form http://www.company.com
You can probably find a dozen or so off the top of your head with a bit of
experimentation - they want it to be easy to find they're page, you know.

I've used several WWW searching tools available via http://web.nexor.co.uk/ to try to find Microsoft's WWW site. I know it's around - I saw it demonstrated this morning! But searching for keyword Microsoft turned up very little. So

a) Can someone tell me MS's WWW site? and

b) Which of the many WWW browsers does the best job?

Actually, I didn't get anything for the above, but a relatively empty

The task of an educator should be to irrigate the desert not clear the forest.

Try again. Microsoft's home page is under development, but it does exist.
Microsoft also has an FTP server, ftp.microsoft.com (198.105.232.1).
